Just Another Saturday Morning Run for Thomas and Mieko

Submitted by ernie on Mon, 10/20/2008 - 12:01am

In trying to increase their fun and weekly mileage, Thomas and Mieko have been doing their long runs on Saturdays.  Their idea of long runs is 30+ miles in rough terrain.  Last Saturday was no exception--a fun 40 miler.  Thomas, with Google maps, elevation charts and rosary beads plotted quite a course for himself and Mieko.  Unfortunately, Google Maps has not mastered showing areas where "NO TRESPASSING" signs are posted.  According to Thomas, they only had to do these "violations" 6 times.  In Mieko's own words,

27th Annual Turkey Trot Fun Run

Submitted by ernie on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 4:36am

Come join us for the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot Fun Run.  It's a great way to start off the special day with a calory-burning spectacular run.  I can't think of a valid reason why you can't make it.  It's free, you are not working that day, and it will remove any guilt associated with overeating later in the day.  The course will take us through Santa Ynez Canyon on a 10 mile loop.  It is well-attended by a bunch of fun-loving runners--Don't miss out--See Details.

Our own Amy, Heather and Helen each placed in their age groups at the LA Tri, then took third in the Malibu Tri Relay last weekend.  This weekend, they are off to do the Cancun Half-Tri sans Helen (smashed toes). 
Congratulations Girls!

John's view of Yosemite

Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 10:37am

Just back from this year's Yosemite special event, John Weiler offered up this review of the new course:

The 4 Mile Trail was not as tough as I imagined.  The last mile or more before Glacier Point was flat enough to run and was a smooth surface.  The views from Glacier Point were spectacular.  The Panorama Trail had wonderful views and a good surface for running but was tougher than I expected.  The Muir trail back to the valley is still the rocky mess it has always been, difficult to run.

I received this note from our very own Irving Hoffman who just returned from a hiking adventure in the Sierra's:

I had a great time backpacking in the High Sierra’s for 5 days from the 3rd of August through the 7th of August.  I did some strenuous climbing with a 50lb backpack and learned about all the stuff I really didn’t need to take with me. 

Santa Cruz Island - Thanks Ernie!

After last week's trip to Santa Cruz Island, we all owe a huge thanks to Ernie. Not only did he make all the reservations and get us all into the right place at the right time (read: very early), he even managed to have about a hundred dolphins show up just at the right moment to accompany our boat for part of the ride over.

As I look back on the last 20 years the first thing that comes to mind is how much I’ve enjoyed the mountains, their gorgeous and challenging trails, the outstanding camaraderie we have experienced and the wonderful friendships we have formed with fellow runners. 
 
I have experienced many wonderful high-lights during these years. A few of them include:
